Sample screens for the format box
Hi Daniel,
I have attached a couple of thoughts for the places to put the format box. I am not a designer though, so just put these in a place that I feel it will good.
Kindly let me know your thoughts.
Pradeep.

When do you think it will be ready? Like, do you plan to bring it to
releasable form within one or two weeks?

Hi Daniel,
I am completely held up for the last 3 weeks. I might not be able to complete it before Monday.

Note that unless someone finds some blocker on the

Looks fine, however, it would be better if we can fit "output format"
there. "o/p" is not obvious for everyone.

You will need the outputFormat, not the outputEncoding.

It will be quite much trickier as the outputFormat influences the
parsing, so it can't be changed after the Template object was
constructed, yet we have ad-hoc per-template settings here. So you
have to follow an unusual procedure here. Create a
TemplateConfiguration object, associate it with the singleton
Configuration object with setParentConfiguration, then set the desired
parameters (including the output format). Then pass the
TemplateConfiguration object to the Template constructor. Finally,
call TemplateConfiguration.apply(Template) to finish the setup of the
Template.

Right, only stable releases go there.

Add a profile like this to the ~/.m2/settings.xml and it should work:
<profile>
<id>apache-staging-repo</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>apache-staging-repository</id>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>

In principle those should be combo boxes (things where you can type to
filter the list, but can only select things that are in the list). I
believe Java has some API-s to query the available locales and time
zones. But for the first iteration it's sufficient to have a fixed
list that you assemble, from some of the most common values.

Hi Daniel,
Sorry for the delay.
Attached is the WIP for the current task.
I have the following questions.
1. I now receive the customization params like o/p format , timezone to server. Now how can I process the same to the FM Template Java API ? I could see there are some setters for all the 3,
template.setTimeZone(),
template.setOutputEncoding(),
template.setLocale().
Shall I use the same.
2. The new jar, FreeMarker 2.3.24-rc01-incubating is not in the maven central I believe, For now I am using it as a local jar in lib folder under the project then added the following in the dependecies.
compile files('lib/freemarker-2.3.24-rc01-incubating.jar')
I tried to add the apache staging repo but not able to do it. Is this local jar fine ?
3. What should the timezone and the locale select box options ? or should it be left as free text with some prefilled content ?
Pradeep.

Hi,
I like the 2nd one.
We will have to add more dropdowns (locale, icompatible_improvemets,
time_zone, maybe some more), and those could be next to this drop
down. Like if each would be a column in an table.
In reality, we will need no blanks dropdown options. For output_format
we should pre-select "undefined" (which is an actual output format),
for locale "en_US", for time_zone "null", for
incompatible_improvements the current FM version (like "2.3.24" now).
